PointToArcDistance

Measures the distance between a point and an arc.

Syntax

void avl::PointToArcDistance
(
	const avl::Point2D& inPoint,
	const avl::Arc2D& inArc,
	atl::real inResolution,
	atl::real& outDistance,
	atl::Optional<avl::Segment2D&> outConnectingSegment = atl::NIL
)

void PointToArcDistance
(
	AvlNet.Point2D inPoint,
	AvlNet.Arc2D inArc,
	float inResolution,
	out float outDistance,
	out AvlNet.Segment2D? outConnectingSegment
)

Parameters

Name	Type	Range	Default	Description
inPoint	const Point2D&
inArc	const Arc2D&
inResolution	real	0.0 -	1.0f	Number of real-world units per one pixel
outDistance	real&
outConnectingSegment	Optional<Segment2D&>		NIL

Examples

PointToArcDistance performed on a sample point and a sample arc. The green segment is the value of outConnectingSegment output.
